TECNO POVA 7 Series Wins Global Awards for Trendy, Futuristic Design

TECNO’s POVA 7 Series was recognised for its innovative designs claiming two prestigious global awards

Johannesburg – 14 July 2025

AI-driven, innovative technology brand TECNO, has gained global acclaim for its latest POVA 7 Series’ refreshing trendy design. 

The Series secured the Golden Award at the New York Product Design Awards and the Platinum Award at the London Design Awards, marking the brand’s leading capability to integrate futuristic aesthetics with standout performance.

The New York Product Design Awards celebrate excellence in design that enhances everyday life, recognising products that combine aesthetic appeal with functional innovation and reshape industry benchmarks.

Organised by the International Awards Associate (IAA), the competitions received over 2,000 submissions globally this year. 

The London Design Awards similarly spotlight digital and electronic devices that achieve outstanding creativity, elegance, and purpose, acknowledging innovations that elevate how users interact with technology.

“TECNO POVA 7 Series shows us just how expansive and essential great design has become,” said Thomas Brandt, spokesperson of IAA. “It also reveals a commitment to problem-solving, beauty, and innovation that extends well beyond the surface.”

POVA 7 Series earned these international design accolades by bringing trendy technology for the young generation with distinctive appearance as the core. Its design carries forward the renowned “Line & Lighting” theme, transformed into a sharp triangular emblem inspired by the POVA logo. Bright orange accents infuse youthful energy, while a semi-transparent battery cover reveals a layered frame that creates 3D visual effect.

Surrounding the camera, 104 Mini-LEDs form the innovative “Status Light”, enabling customisable lighting patterns for notifications and enhancing both style and functionality. Inside, the operating system echoes this visual theme with metallic and glass-textured wallpapers, clean layouts, sleek icons, and modern fonts.

Beyond visual distinction, the POVA 7 Series excels in performance. The phones offer a full suite of AI-powered tools – including real-time translation, call summaries, and AI-enhanced imaging – complemented by AIGC Studio for professional-quality content creation. Powered by high-performance chipsets, the devices deliver ultra-smooth gameplay, ensuring fluid gaming and multimedia experiences. The series also boasts long-lasting batteries and fast charging, eliminating battery anxiety.

These prestigious global honours for the POVA 7 Series prove TECNO’s commitment to innovation and signal a promising future: TECNO is dedicated to continuing its mission of empowering next generation users with trend-tech styles and advanced technology.
